Seeking the Blessings of the Lord of Dwarka

April 13, 2006

PLEASE NOTE THE MEDIA'S ATTEMPT TO PRESENT A NEGATIVE TWIST TO BOTH

ADVANI STORIES. THE FIRST ONE SUGGESTS THAT THE RSS IS DISAPPOINTED

THAT SO MANY PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN ITS MESSAGE. THE SECOND ARTICLE

BELOW TRIES TO STIMULATE RESENMENT BETWEEN RAMA BHAKTAS AND KRSNA

BHAKTAS.

THE REAL STORY HERE IS THAT MILLIONS OF INDIA'S PEOPLE ARE EXTREMELY

INTERESTED IN THE VEDIC IDEALS REPRESENTED BY RAM, KRSNA AND THE

MODERN VEDIC ACTIVISTS. THIS IS QUITE REVEALING THAT DESPITE THE

MEDIA'S SAVAGE PORTRAYALS OF HINDU ACTIVISTS, THE TRUTH IS OBVIOUS.

Solapur, April 12: With the Ram temple issue unlikely to help in the

party's revival anymore, senior BJP leader Lal Krishna Advani seems to

be turning to Lord Krishna for blessings in his attempts to make a

comeback both within and outside the saffron party.

Like the embattled Mahabharata warrior Arjuna, who sought the divine

cowherds' help in the battlefield of Kurukshetra surrounded by

kins-turned-enemies, Advani, who is at the receiving end from sections

within the party and the larger Sangh Parivar, too appeared to be

seeking the Lord's intervention as he visited famous Krishna temples

all along the 6000 km yatra route criss-crossing 10 states.

The 78-year old leader, who had changed the party's fortunes with his

landmark Somnath-Ayodhya yatra in support of the construction of the

Ram temple, began his ongoing `Bharat Suraksha Yatra' from Rajkot on

April 6 after offering prayers at the famous Dwarakadheesh temple nearby.

While Krishna was born at Mathura and brought up at Vrindavan, it was

in Dwarka that he ruled as a prince. Known in Puranic days as

Kushasthali and Dwaravati, Dwarka on the western coast lies by the

Arabian Sea and is the cradle of Krishna legends.
